Scarf

Although it's autumn, it's cold and wet enough to feel like winter. Rather than living in the same clothes for two seasons, which is equally as acceptable, I like to try and add to my normal clothes to make them warmer. So this year I'm going for adding big scarves; you can put them on top of short sleeved tops, long sleeved tops, tank tops - literally any kind of top you want to wear, apart from collars in my opinion.

So I got this little beauty at a local vintage shop, Pop Boutique. Obviously you can fold it how you like, some people wrap it around their neck, some people tie it, I personally like to just put it around my neck - no wrapping. I think it adds a kind of necklace-like look.






I have a couple more but don't have photos yet, I might add to this post or just make a new one for the others!

What I wore: Shirt and Hair Bow


Whenever I wear a long shirt with a belt, I feel like I'm wearing a boyfriends shirt around the house/flaunting 'this is how good I'd look if you let me wear your things'. Well, I don't have a boyfriend so this is not the case. But the shirt is really cute and from New Look, the belt is also from New Look and the hair bow is actually just a scarf from a charity shop that I folded, wrapped under my hair and tied at my parting. 

I also wear this with black 3/4 leggings (typically from New Look too), you don't have to, but I like it for the extra warmth/to be a bit more covered. Make up as usual and hair slightly straightened :)


Please excuse the messy room in the background!

Michael

My best friend Michael, whom I have known since nursery school, is in the army. He's not finished his basic training yet, so he trains during the week and has his weekends free. If he doesn't have a long weekend... This is my time! I love having him around and I miss him when he isn't here. So this weekend we predrank at home and played silly games, went out to a nightclub, came home, bought fried chicken and fell asleep. He's a babe; in the afternoon when we woke up, I went to make some breakfast and I didn't have enough bacon, so he walked to the shop to get supplies!

He looks really happy, I'm sure you'll agree, but that's just his army face :) I'm gona be lonely these next two weekends though, because he's not allowed to leave :(
